According to Buddha
Half of life is lost in charming others. The other half is lost in going through anxieties caused by others. Leave this play. You have played enough.

the more i like to let it go
hey oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
where it’s so white as snow
privately divided by a world so undecided
and there’s nowhere to go

Are you talking about the L-1049 variant of the Super constellation???
Not much snow here, just a skiff overnight, but plenty cold today. Maybe another chance of snow over the weekend.
variant 🤓😵💫has many more meanings these days…I found this David for my post The Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation is an American aircraft, a member of the Lockheed Constellation aircraft line. The L-1049 was Lockheed’s response to the successful Douglas DC-6 airliner…apologies in my delayed response…we’re out of the deep freeze here for now…enjoy your snow David ☺️🙏🤍❄️🕊sending warmth and joy hedy ☺️
I LOVE those first three lines. So true! Love your photos too! Beautiful and peaceful.

Stay warm 🤗

🙏☺️❄️❄️winter fun…you also had a few days…I love snow…this week week freezing rain…so slippery😵💫yes a much warmer week here…hugs hedy 🤍🕊💫
There always is something magical about pictures taken in the snow.
We had some snow at night here as well. But I guess that it will melt before I make it out of the door.
Anyway, excellent series, Hedy.
Humble thank you Rabirius ☺️🙏heartfelt ☺️🤍🕊apologies I’m my delayed response ~ life got in the way 🕊💫hugs hedy
Such happy faces–(well, the one dog may have been a little bemused)! And hands without gloves! I suppose after enduring the extremes, a little burst of reprieve can feel downright balmy! I know this feeling…
it was a one off day of reprieve from the cold snap ❄️❄️❄️and yes some gloves removed always feels so good…the small dog was apparently a “cranky” one🐶😁isn’t it a great feeling 🤓we had 27 days straight of -30 or more ❄️winter in the north 🤣today sunshine ☀️ sending joy Michael apologies for my delayed response ☺️ hedy 💫
Great shots. Did I see this little bulldog before?
As for Buddha, should I assume He has read Sartre: “L’enfer c’est les autres”? (Hell is the others?)
nope new to me…I love dogs Brian🐶❄️I have no idea 🤓😉but Sartre would bye good, right? Hugs hedy💫
Hey Miss Hedy … oh such wonderful photos my friend! 💫💕
so appreciated Julie 🤓🙏it was a wonderful day ~ hugs hedy ❄️🤍🕊
